Hello and Happy New Year 2009! I wanted to follow up on my report yesterday. At 8am this morning there were four GLAUCOUS GULLS (2 adults and two very white juveniles) along with 40+ GREAT BLACK-BACKED GULLS at the roost on the Rideau River near Billings Bridge. As I was driving in the sky above the Data Centre was full of gulls, at least 100 and likely more. They were primarily great black-backs, but it wouldn't surprise me if more glaucous and/or Iceland gulls were in the mix. Good birding! Pat DIRECTIONS (from previous post): The Billings Bridge Shopping Centre is on Riverside Drive between Bank Street and the Bronson Street bridge. The gull roost is located on the river near the bridge on Bank Street. Park in the Billings Bridge parking lot or on Bank Street and walk to this location for best viewing. _________________________________________________________________ Drag n’ drop—Get easy photo sharing with Windows Live™ Photos. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowslive/photos.aspx_______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
